The midsummer is approaching, and the gaming circle is surging. For players who love domestic games, "Shadow Blade Zero" is undoubtedly the focus of attention, and the recent updates around "Shadow Blade Zero" have also continued to attract attention.
In May, S-GAME (Lingyou Square) held a series of visits.Invite domestic and foreign anchors and KOLs to visit the motion capture studio in Shanghai to immerse themselves in the motion capture process of game characters.
At S-GAME's Beijing headquarters, a live trial broadcast event was also held. Several KOLs experienced the Demo version of the Seven Star Sword Formation that had not been publicly tried.
With the exchanges during the live broadcast event, game producer Soulframe (hereinafter referred to as S) accepted interviews with KOLs and players and revealed some exciting information.
The previously announced Huang Xingzi and the Seven-Star Sword Formation Senior Brother are just side contents of the game. Players can choose to skip it, which will not affect the progress of the main line process.
S said humorously: "Just say this senior brother, you see that he doesn't even have a name, he just calls him senior brother, how strong do you think he can be."
When talking about the creation experience of "Shadow Blade Zero", S talked about the transformation of S-GAME and revealed that the company has cut off all other new projects and focused on the development of "Shadow Blade Zero".
S: "When we were doing mobile games, we were very nervous almost all the time. Paying attention to that flow curve every day affects everyone's mental state.
But as we keep moving forward, we cut off all other projects one by one in some places that players can't see.
We just need to concentrate all our energy and resources on "Shadow Blade Zero".
At this time, we may have entered a state of flow, and we don’t think about the sales of the game anymore. The team is more about how to do a good move in the game, and exchange various ideas and discuss them. Sometimes everyone gets excited.(laugh)"
Is it to create a relatively safe work, or to try to make breakthroughs and innovate?How to integrate Chinese traditional culture and game art?Whenever S talks about this, S feels deeply.
S: "We actually discussed a lot internally, that is, is it enough for us to do this? We don't need to challenge it anymore? Then we will put out the volume and outsource it in batches.
At this time, I was wondering whether we can surpass what players can imagine and put some difficulty on ourselves.
When I saw works like "Master SIFU", this game made by the French game team showed such excellent expression of the essence of kung fu. I had a deep feeling that we did too little, very authentic and authentic. This kind of conveying the charm of the spiritual core, we are actually far from doing enough.
We want to do something very extreme, very extreme.”
Focusing on and calming down and investing in the production of the game may be the core direction of S-GAME in the future, but this does not mean that we will not see the new news about "Shadow Blade Zero" in the short term.
On June 3, S posted a news on his personal Weibo and released two new undisclosed game scenes.
It specifically mentioned: "We originally planned to not publish anything this summer, but there are indeed some good opportunities and invitations recently. We are studying how to put something a little without affecting the progress of R&D and not exposing too much content... Stay tuned!"
This seems to herald more surprises to us in the coming months.
As S said on Weibo, the team is weighing how to share new content with everyone in a timely manner while ensuring the progress and confidentiality of R&D.
Then let’s look forward to it together!
